A group of hunters pays for a high-end hunt on a desert island, where they will be hunting for a man. Until the hunters become the prey, everything goes according to plan. James Malone (Bruce Willis), a former cop, is serving a life sentence for a crime he did not commit. If he survives a hazardous game in which a group of hunters pay for the pleasure of hunting another human on a lonely island, he is given a chance to recover his freedom. Malone accepts the terms, and when he comes, he sets up traps and engages in a psychological battle with the hunters. The Most Dangerous Game was loosely based on this story.
